Biomarker | ICI type | Patients | Study cohort | irAE type | Judgment | Ref. |
CD4+ T cell | CTLA-4, PD-1 | 17 | 8/17 (47%) irAEs, among them, 4 multiple irAEs | NA | CD4+ T cells increased during irAEs | [34] |
CD8+ T cell | CTLA-4, PD-1 | 17 | 8/17 (47%) irAEs, among them, 4 multiple irAEs | NA | CD8+ T cells increased during irAEs | [34] |
B cell | CTLA-4, PD-1 | 23 | 13/23 (57%) irAEs | NA | Low levels of CD21lo B cells at baseline in the irAE group, and significantly increase after the first cycle of combined CTLA-4 and PD-1 inhibitor treatment | [35] |
White blood cell count and relative lymphocyte count | PD-1 | 101 | 38/101 (38%) irAEs. Among them, 6 multiple irAEs, 2 combined irAEs, 4 continuous irAEs | NA | An increase in white blood cell and a decrease in relative lymphocyte count were associated with the occurrence of G3/4 irAEs | [36] |
Absolute eosinophil count | PD-1 | 321 | 18% ICI pneumonia in patients with an average age of 62.7 years | Lung irAEs | The absolute eosinophil count of patients with ICI-pneumonia was significantly higher than that of no ICI-pneumonia patients | [37] |
Absolute lymphocyte count | PD-1 | 171 | 73/171 (42.7%) irAEs | NA | At 2 wk after initiation of treatment, an increase in absolute lymphocyte count was significantly associated with an increased risk of irAEs | [38] |
Neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio | PD-1 | 275 | 121/275 (44.0%) irAEs, 86 with one irAEs, 26 with two irAEs, 9 with three or more irAEs, Severe irAEs (> grade 3) occurred in 29 (10.5%) | Lung irAEs | Increased neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio can predict the severity of subsequent irAEs pneumonia with high accuracy, and the higher the NLR value, the more severe irAEs occurs | [39] |
PD-1 | 92 | 45/92 (48.9%) irAEs | NA | Before treatment, neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio > 2.3 was significantly associated with an increased risk of irAEs | [40] | |
Lymphocyte/monocyte ratio | PD-1 | 92 | 45/92 (48.9%) irAEs | NA | Before treatment, lymphocyte/monocyte ratio > 1.6 significantly reduced the risk of irAEs | [40] |
Absolute monocyte count | CTLA-4, PD-1, PD-L1 | 470 | 33% irAEs | NA | The incidence of irAEs was significantly associated with higher baseline absolute monocyte count | [41] |
Platelet count | CTLA-4, PD-1, PD-L1 | 470 | 33% irAEs | NA | The incidence of irAEs was significantly associated with higher baseline platelet count | [41] |
Platelet/lymphocyte ratio | CTLA-4, PD-1, PD-L1 | 470 | 33% irAEs | NA | The incidence of IrAEs was significantly associated with lower baseline platelet/lymphocyte ratio | [42] |
